Previously, Kentaro held Su Muyao in contempt.
The elder told him that this Princess of Da Chu knew how to build ships. In his opinion, it was just a young lady from a noble family playing house. She was just interested for a moment and pretended to know how to build ships. In reality, she only knew a little bit.
That's why he asked a series of questions as soon as they met; on the one hand, he genuinely wanted to know the answers to these questions.
On the other hand, he simply wanted to show his professionalism, suppress the arrogance of the princess of Da Chu, and let her know what real shipbuilding is all about.
Women should marry well, serve their husbands and in-laws, and have many children. It's really presumptuous of them to study shipbuilding.
Unexpectedly, Su Muyao rejected him. Instead, every question she asked hit the nail on the head, and they were all secrets that he couldn't answer.
In this way, his previous statement that he would not hide anything became a joke.
If you can't even be completely open about what you know, how can you expect the other party to tell you some of the key shipbuilding techniques without reservation?
Kentaro was speechless for a moment and could only look at Tokuyoshi Shingo.
Shingo Tokugi glared at Kentaro with a fierce look.
This good-for-nothing can't even argue with a woman.
However, this princess of the Great Chu, who looks so gentle and weak, is just as difficult to deal with as Su Ruojin.
Seeing that Kentaro hadn't answered yet, Su Muyao understood perfectly well and chuckled, "What, does the shipwright not know or can't say? Since the boss said that Kentaro is a famous shipwright in Yamato, he must know, but just can't say it."
If you can't say it, don't make grand promises of having nothing to hide.
Your Dahe has shipbuilding techniques that cannot be shared with outsiders, so why do you ask me to tell you about the shipbuilding techniques of Da Chu?
"My lord, there's an old saying in our Great Chu: 'Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you.' If you can't do it yourself, don't expect it of others."
Su Muyao's words were tantamount to slapping Tokuyoshi Shingo in the face.
The smile on his face gradually disappeared, and his tone became gloomy.
“Princess, I welcome you from afar to Yamato. I brought Kentaro here today to show my respect for your shipbuilding skills. I hope you will not hide anything from me, so as not to affect the relationship between Yamato and Da Chu.”
These words were a warning to Su Muyao: "Don't be too cocky on my Dahe territory. Tell us the answers you want, or you'll damage the relationship between Dahe and Da Chu."
Seeing Su Muyao being threatened, Shen Yu could not bear it. He sneered, "Elder, I didn't know that you Dahe people had the habit of forcing others to do things against their will. You dare to threaten my Great Chu Princess and Crown Princess."
"If the princess wants to speak, she will; if she doesn't want to, I'd like to see who can force her to utter a single more word!"
With things having come to this point, it's as if the two sides have completely broken off relations.
Deyi Xinwu met Shen Yu's gaze, neither of them willing to back down.
Suddenly, Shingo Tokugi burst into laughter. “Very well, Prince Shen is indeed bold. However, I must remind you that you are now within my shogunate. I advise you to behave yourselves and write down all the answers Kentaro wants. If you do so, I will definitely have someone send you back safely.”
Deyi Xinwu didn't say "otherwise," but how could Shen Yu and Su Muyao not understand?
Su Muyao's expression changed upon hearing this, not because of Deyi Xinwu's threat, but because she realized that her eldest sister had not yet appeared, and Deyi Xinwu dared to say such a thing, which could only mean one thing: something had happened to her eldest sister and the prince.
Su Muyao looked at Shen Yu with a tense and worried expression.
Shen Yu shook her head slightly, indicating that she didn't need to worry.
Although Shen Yu didn't know what had happened to the prince and princess, he believed that no one in Dahe could do anything to them.
"What if we don't agree?" Shen Yu asked.
Tokuyoshi Shingo slowly stood up, a sinister smile curling at the corner of his mouth. "That's not up to the Crown Prince and the Princess. Guards!"
The door opened, and several warriors poured in.
"Take the Crown Prince and Princess to the Shogunate dungeon and take good care of them, Kentaro." Tokuyoshi Shingo turned to look at Kentaro.
Kentaro quickly replied, "Yes, sir."
